It FEELS GREAT!!! I did a 120km trip today over the rivers and through the mountains...literally through the mountains since they have added like a hundred new tunnels on the road between my city and Bogota. They are taking a 2 lane road and adding many new tunnels and bridges to make it a 4 lane road, which is desperately needed. One of the newest old tunnels along this road is so long that motorcycles are forbidden so we have to take the really old road out of town to bypass it. And that road absolutely sucks!! Seriously it has 6 inch deep trenches where the fuel tankers have slowly sunken into the asphalt. Its like the old wagon train routes you see in Colorado. Very friggin dangerous on a bike. Once you get in you cant get out. You can see them in my video. I think they are going to resurface that road too but not sure when. The road is usually congested with semi trucks, tanker trucks and every type of smaller truck and cage you can imagine. The road to Bogota was virtually empty today and it felt like my own private drive. The ride home was a different story. Lots of cars and traffic since its a long weekend and everyone is headed to warm weather. Tried to shoot some video but only got a 10 minute clip from the beginning of the route. Will try to post it later. The bike ran awesome and I am extremely happy now that I have black...which is obviously the fastest color.
